FEATURED PODCAST

Kody Green is 28 years old with a diagnosis of Undifferentiated Schizophrenia. Kody is a motivational speaker and content creator with over a million followers on TikTok. He has struggled in the past with drug addiction, incarceration, and serious mental health issues.
He chooses to pursue motivational speaking and mental health advocacy for schizophrenia awareness, drug recovery and second- chance opportunities because he has dealt with these struggles in his own life.
We recognize that mental health clinical research is a particularly challenging area within research so we’ve brought together stakeholders from pharma, CRO’s, and sites to identify some obstacles and challenges unique to CNS research.
The STARR Site Certification is a result of these conversations.
